Russell Westbrook thought he found some extra motivation heading into the NBA All-Star Game. Instead, it was just another reason to yell at Carmelo Anthony.
After the Thunder's win over the Wizards on Thursday, Westbrook was asked for his thoughts about being selected for Team LeBron.
You could tell something was bothering Westbrook, though. He thought LeBron had picked him last.
Westbrook said:
"That's cool, man. That's good, man. Finally got the teams figured out. But I see I was last picked on the list, so I was just trying to figure out…"
Once reporters told him it was in alphabetical order, Westbrook turned towards Anthony and shouted:
"SEE, I TOLD YOU, MAN! Alphabetical order, man. Of course I was first."
That's amazing.
You could tell Anthony's heckling was really getting to Westbrook too. Anthony had him convinced that he was picked last, and Westbrook was ready to show up in Los Angeles with a giant chip on his shoulder.
So much for that.
